Thought I'd go ahead and finish this out. It's been a month long battle and we lost this morning. Just last night we again put her in a hospital next to her flock mates but separated to give the crop another rest period and to see if she was pooing, if anything was getting through the blockage...
I've been doing the Clotrimazole twice/day (total of 4 doses so far); gave coconut oil once yesterday morning. She seems better this morning! Still weird crop but overall seems improved. Her balance is a bit better, crop is not quite the balloon it used to be. Its smaller and slightly firm...
Good grief I can't believe how much I OD'd her on the Corid dose 😬last night, that wasn't very smart. But she's doing okay this morning. Crop is still strange same as yesterday it does empty "some," overnight. Now she's having a hard time walking, she's high stepping and fell right off her roost...
1st treatment done. Wrapped patient in towel and administered Corid drench, I swear I give advice and send links to many people but draw a blank when I'm in the moment. She got a full syringe of Corid anyhow, and 2cc of 1% Clotrimazole. I brought liquid coconut oil with me but stopped for the...
I do give chick grit. This particular chick is a chow hound and loves grit. I FINALLY have my partner in chicken treatment, 4 hands and we're heading out now to lock up and treat this lady (she needs a name eventually, I'll just call her Stevie Chicks for now.) We're reading back through many of...
Not yet. She will if I can get her healthy, they were just integrating with the bigs. She does have chopped up straw in her run and I've been wondering if that's a problem.
Just added to chicks water. I'll drench blue girl tonight. I was reading about moldy food and outdoor water possible sour crop causes. I've been giving them mash feed but it's never been moldy, but they do indeed have a water bowl in their grow out run that has been getting rain water......
Awesome, I've been really hoping to chat with you! Thank you! So this is just now, I let her out of hospital which was just next to the 3 flock mates roost so couldn't have stressed her out. The poo is therefore only her. It seems very dark. I'm glad to see it though and her crop seems to have...
I'm heading into town to get micanozole per the sour crop treatment but if anyone has anything to add such as do I keep her away from food? water? I don't see anything about what to do during treatment..... Thanks for any advice.....
Her breath does smell a little sour. I put her in a hospital with only water. I'm alone until tomorrow so trying to hold her and get something down her mouth is pretty funny.
My newest flock additions are 10weeks old now. Everything quite normal, they've been in my very dry brooder room with attached little outdoor run. Diet is only All flock crumble, nothing else. I have not treated with Corid as I have not seen any signs of Coccidiosis. But my cute little blue...
